Vasanth Sreedhar Kulkarni & Ors vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the locus standi of appellants Vasanth Sreedhar Kulkarni and Eshwar Gouda Burma Gouda Patil to challenge the allotment of sites from land acquired under the Karnataka Urban Development Authorities Act, 1987. The Court held that the appellants, having previously lost their writ petitions in 1996 and having sold the acquired land, lacked the standing to contest the allotment. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the decisions of the Karnataka High Court dated 14.12.1999 and 04.04.2000.
